Each day, when I awaken, I will follow this plan of battle before I am captured by the forces of sadness, self-pity and failure-
每天醒来当我被悲伤、自怜、失败的情绪包围时,我就这样与之对抗:
If I feel depressed I will sing.
沮丧时,我引吭高歌。
If I feel sad I will laugh.

If I feel ill I will double my labor.

If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.

If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.

If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.

If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.

If I feel incompetent I will remember past success.

If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.

Today I will be master of my emotions.

失望与悲伤一眼就会被识破,而其它许多敌人是不易觉察的。
